Residents of Las Vegas should be pleased at this new flight to Casper, a charming Wyoming town that is much more pleasant than Las Vegas. Allegiant gives you yet another way to leave Las Vegas, always a good thing.

At this moment, but I expect that we will hear announcements later this summer for other vacation destinations like IWA and SFB. Those announcements will be for flights that will start to operate in the winter.

Although not heavily marketed, I've noticed that Allegiant has learned some Vegas residents are using flights for vacations out of the desert.

The website now includes hotel packages in places like Santa Barbara.

In a recent Vegas newspaper article Tyri from Allegiant talked about LAS-BLI putting someone close to Vancouver for vacation and LAS-FAT being convenient for a Yosemite trip.http://www.lvrj.com/living/19558689.html

Quoting 87GROUNDED (Reply 11):Casper, Wyoming: The Armpit of the Earth. I lived there so I would know.

I thought that was Rock Springs?! LOL. Well at least they are getting more as opposed to less service there. At least for now I think.

I see Grand Island,NE may be coming too?

Well how about Lewiston,ID? Grab people from Lewiston, Moscow,ID ;Pullman, and Clarkston,WA. Many college students and they seem to get relatively frequent gambling junkets so it may be a possibility. Seems good as any out west.

Nice with a little piece of good news among all the cuts that are going on.

According to Wikipedia, Casper is a center of banking and commerce. Could this have something to do with the more lucrative prospects for the petroleum industry stemming from the increased market prices of oil?

That alone is a great reason to start the route! Besides, you can't ski in Vegas.

Right, the relevant market is really half the state of Wyoming. Cheyenne will still drive to Ft Collins. But the catchment area of Casper (while unpopulated) is something like a 100-mile radius, just huge. The area is remote enough that the demand may be relatively high fare.
